How long does redness last after a medium-depth chemical peel?

iolaus
I got a 30% TCA peel that was layered twice. My cheeks and nose area swelled a little for a few days, then it went down. Today is the 8th day. I have very little peeling left on my nose and forhead. The peeled parts look great but they are red. I was given locoid lipocream & an spf 30 moisturizer, and I'm staying out of the sun. How long is the redness supposed to last on a medium-depth chemical peel?
